Happy New Year

I have been away for three weeks without a computer but I did have my camera...

First stop Yorkshire, where I spent ten joyful days with my family, unfortunately it rained heavily every day I was there so interior shots only.

No i phone or complicated portable just a good old fashioned British Telecom standard issue telephone, the one's I grew up with, they are considered retro now, I so enjoyed curling up on the sofa, twirling the curly cord in my fingers and using this to call absent friends and loved ones.

I had five star treatment staying with my Brother

Oh I do love a big bath with a view!

I even bought sweets from my childhood (also now considered retro) for the kids but they were more interested in computer games!

And I helped my Mother with afternoon tea.

Next stop Prague for seven days and mercifully no rain but it was cold I was secretly hoping for snow but it was not to be, still, it was beautiful and there is more to come on my Prague adventure

I won't be back home until Sunday, at present I am in my spiritual home on the Provençal Coast.

Your stay in Yorkshire sounds marvelous and such a comfortable home. I will be very much looking forward to reading about Prague, I have not been.Wishing you good health, happiness and prosperity in 2013Helenxx

Such memories those phones bring, don't they? We stayed at a 'historic hotel' not long ago and photographed the phone in our room -- a black version of the one you pictured. I remember those from my childhood, which had me questioning my 'historic' age. Beautiful photos.

I have been a bit worried at your absence after reading about Crusoe being ill on Backwards in High Heels blog - I hope he is now recovered.

I love your brother's sitting room. I too have gone back to the the phones of my youth, mine is black. I got fed up of the batteries dying on me mid-call on the cordless phones. These olds phones look much more stylish plus I find the earpiece on them much more comfortable for long chats.

Dear Tricia, thank you for concern regarding Crusoe it turned out to be a deep cut under his tongue, which the vet missed initially. Tongues bleed an awful lot! He was anaemic for a while but is now fighting fit and back to his usual self.
